I live in a beachfront penthouse, but thank you for playing. It amply demonstrates the way that you choose to think. Not based on evidence, cues nor reality. But your own negative thinking. Hoping that someone is doing worse than you, in order to assist you in feeling better about yourself.

Constantly remind yourself that life is wonderful. This positive mindset is essential for your mental well-being.

Having a defensive posture is a sign of an insecure antisocial personality type. Someone says something that makes you feel uncomfortable and in order to recover from your acceptance of a perceived demeaning verbiage your reactionary second nature response is to lash out. A psychopath is more apt to do it in a more controlled manner, attempting to come off as a calm mild person, but still a mentally ill psychopath no less.

Now I see why you keep posting what you do about the war in Iran. Wow!!

Wow what? Have you not noticed that the US has decimated Iran's military, and did most of it in two days? Think what they could do if they wanted to.

This is AI, but can be easily found elsewhere regarding the Gulf War, Yes, the United States and its coalition partners won a decisive and overwhelming military victory in the Gulf War (1990–1991). The coalition successfully achieved its primary objective—expelling Iraqi forces from Kuwait—in a rapid, 100-hour ground campaign that shattered the Iraqi military while incurring very few casualties. 

Looking at military wise, the US won the Vietnam War by casualties and damage to arms. It lost a few minor battles but won the majority. It had won militarily in 1972, and could have won the war if it continued, but losing that many people on both sides, trying to rid Communism, was a mistake, even if South Vietnam was along side us. They've obviously been okay with it afterwards.

The Taliban returning to power in Afghanistan has the US losing

Initial Tactical Success (2001): The U.S. successfully used airpower and special forces alongside the Northern Alliance to topple the Taliban regime in roughly two months.

• Strategic Failure (2001–2021): The U.S. failed in the broader goals of nation-building, creating a stable democratic state, and eliminating the Taliban insurgency, which maintained a "long-war" strategy, waiting for U.S. withdrawal.

• The Final Outcome (2021): Following the agreement to withdraw, the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed, and the Taliban regained control of the capital, Kabul, on August 15, 2021, declaring victory. 

Key Reasons for the Lack of Victory

• Inability to Defeat the Insurgency: Despite massive military superiority, the U.S. could not eliminate the Taliban, who found refuge across the border in Pakistan.

• Failed Nation-Building: Attempts to build a stable, corrupt-free Afghan government and security forces proved futile, with the Afghan National Army collapsing quickly after the U.S. departure..................Again, all objectives not accomplished , so the war wasn't won, but military wise, again one sided.....Take prejudice against the US and especially Trump away, and others can see more clearly. Look at what the US did for the world in earlier wars, seeing many forget their freedom was largely because of our involvement.

All you have to do is let him talk, and if it's not me, it will be you, and if not you, anyone else. I love sitting back and watch him implode. He sidetracks the OP, then complains when you answer another here, calling it sidetracking. It's about mental illness, right up his alley.

Expect the thumbs downs, as he follows you around and places them right after you reply, which is against forum rules.

So what are you saying? That the crazy hyperactive people are really the normal ones, but the calm and thoughtful ones are the mentally ill? That's some mental gymnastics you are attempted to perform there. Unfortunately, it just leads to you falling flat on your face.

Making things up in order to try to mask your feelings of inadequacy. Constantly trying to win and becoming frustrated when you fail.

When have you ever seen me implode? Not even once, but we've seen you do it thousands of times.

No one takes the blindest bit of notice of you anymore. You've cried Wolf! too many times. Som nam nah! 😊 What is interesting for me, is your need to have a support group 😊 Come on guys, sit in a ring and hold hands.

Some mentally ill people are aware of their state. And then there are those who are not and become confused and disoriented when they see their reflection. There are many variants of psychopathy. We don’t expect you to understand since being inside the box.

See how it's constant deflections come, always bringing up his past failures. It's always a "we", when no one besides the other troll agrees with him. Not aware of his past history of being banned, starting as NowNow, then Centigrade, Ninja, NextG, BatteringRam, JakeC, and now this alter ego. I don't need a support group, as this is an adult forum, and everyone has it's number now. Too dense to have restraint, it just digs a deeper hole.

Take it easy, fred. You are losing it again. Getting mad, throwing out veiled insults, screeching about former usernames. Who is demonstrating a lack of restraint here? Look at the reality, rather than just falsehoods you create to try to feel better about yourself.

If you notice the guilty conscience, still talking to me when I'm ignoring him, seeing I had a few pissed off at me for wasting my time feeding his troll. All the while sitting here laughing, many times on the phone with other members doing the same,while I'm labeled as ranting, raging, losing it again, screeching, and other overused false replies. It's nice to see how many members have figured him out, albeit by insults to them, acting his usual superior ways, all the while seen as a scared little boy who just has to insult to fed that weakness.

The ignore feature is good. He talks like a mentally disturbed person. I'd rather not read it.

No, you haven't... You'll start again soon enough. It's a compulsion, much like with your fellow board maniac, @Rockyroad , the most prolific poster of nonsense in the history of AN. Hands down. No question.

I hope you don’t mind me asking this, but have you ever considered whether you might be on the autism spectrum? I’ve noticed at times that your responses can come across as lacking a bit of self-awareness, and I’m wondering if that might be part of it.

I just copied a text by a few AN members to see for myself if i am getting"it"

Yes i am getting it!

According to AI a few members are demonstrating narcissism in a lot of their posts.

Not saying who because that is against the forum rules but i did this to know for myself who to avoid.

I was truly surprised by the answers i was getting!

Also a few of the trolls here have a very interesting behaviour pattern!

yes,i checked myself too,i seem to know myself pretty good.

lol.

Don't need AI to find the narcissists, there is a list on most active posters. AN would have died years ago without them. So why are you here? Why am I, BTW...

I had a psychologic evaluation before I was offered a place at certain Grammar school.

I scored exceptionally highly for when it came to self-awareness. I read the evaluation on the headmaster's desk at the time. He was teaching me individually.

Psychological evaluation and an IQ test.

If you cannot see who really has 'problems' on this thread, then excuse me if I doubt your ability to assess anyone else's mental state.

Let's do a little test to determine the reach of your abilities...

Who else within this thread have you determined to have a lack of self awareness?

I guess only somebody really mentally ill, would continue to post in a forum where he considers and claims all others to be mentally ill 🤣

All others?

Such a 'clever' statement.

I guess your theory holds for your psychiatrist too. They must be 'mental' to deal with mental patients.

It's a thread with concern to mental illness, haven't you noticed?

It's interesting to me, as i have observed certain behaviours over time. Usually we are not 'allowed' to talk about other members, so this thread gives us an opportunity to highlight those certain behaviours. I have no problem with anyone discussing me, as long as it's done in a neutral and evidence based manner.

Everything I have pointed out here has the evidence behind it, rather than simply the spiteful imaginations of hurt people 'lashing out'.

Just normal open and honest discussion. But of course that is not possible for some here. Q.E.D.

Glad you also noticed how he acts when you have his number. Trying to act like an expert in things psychological, when the only one with any real problems has shown to be him. Deflecting when it's pointed out, now it's you that has a psychiatrist. So funny.

If you leave him alone, he will surely attack another, as that's the MO with someone with behavioral issues. They just can't stay away. He has a little ability to act like he knows what he's talking about, but not the insight to understand it's him that's the culprit all along.

Changing usernames at least 8 times, and trying to be incognito is evidence of an abnormality, but of course he won't see that, as that disorder has them blind to their own faults, but eyes wide open to point out any in others, or to invent some if they aren't readily apparent. Sad, as these types go after decent humans most of the time.
